Huge move lower for short sterling on the open

SHORT-STERLING
  • Big move lower for short sterling on the open this morning following comments from BOE Governor Bailey said over the weekend that rising energy prices will remain higher for longer and push inflation higher and "That raises for central banks the fear and concern of embedded expectations. That's why we, at the Bank of England have signaled, and this is another signal, that we will have to act. But of course that action comes in our monetary policy meetings."
  • Dec21 contract opening down 8.5 ticks on the day at 99.56 at writing. Rest of the Whites down 10-11 ticks.
